CALL FOR PAPERS
Annals of Software Engineering:
Special Volume on "Computational Intelligence In Software Engineering"
http://manta.cs.vt.edu/ase
The Annals of Software Engineering journal seeks articles for a special volume
on "Computational Intelligence In Software Engineering".
The constantly evolving technological infrastructure of the modern world
presents a great challenge of developing software systems with increasing size
and complexity. Software engineers and researchers are striving to meet these
and other continuously growing challenges by developing and implementing useful
software engineering methodologies. However, despite the introduction of some
important and useful paradigms in the software engineering discipline, their
technological transfers on a larger scale has been extremely gradual and
limited.
The recent emergence of the field of Computational Intelligence (CI) in
Software Engineering provides a software development team with an opportunity
by taking advantage of the currently developed, documented, and mature CI
technologies such as fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks, genetic and
artificial intelligence based computational systems, expert knowledge based
systems, and case based reasoning. These and other computational intelligence
technologies have been used to resolve issues arising from the ever-increasing
complexity and size of software systems.
The aim and scope of this special issue is focused on the current research
trends of introducing and implementing CI techniques to address the various
software engineering needs arising during different phases of software
development and analysis. This special issue is intended to serve as a
comprehensive collection of some of the current state-of-the-art CI in
software engineering technologies.

Annals of Software Engineering imposes virtually no length limitation on
the submitted papers. A paper's length is judged with respect to the
quality of its content. Submitted papers must not have been previously
published or be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.
All papers will be rigorously refereed. The complete manuscript in PDF
or postscript format should be submitted to the editor on or before
April 1, 2002.
Submission
Submission of a manuscript to the Annals of Software Engineering journal
is a representation that the manuscript:
(a) has not been previously published,
(b) is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere, and
(c) will not be submitted elsewhere until a decision is made regarding
its suitability for publication in Annals of Software Engineering.
Submission is also the representation that the work has been approved for
open publication if performed under an official sponsorship requiring
such an approval.
